Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said that young children are 59% less likely to get the virus after receiving the flu vaccine.

This year, America is facing the H3N2 strain of the influenza virus, which happens to be the most dangerous of the four typical yearly strains. That said, it isn’t particularly unique in its deadliness.

The other half of the issue is hospital pricing, and that is its own puzzle. The average ER visitor will pay $1,318 and a mean of $615, according to The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey.

With hospital pricing inexplicably rich and a lack of doctors accepting new patients (or even current ones), something needs to fill the gap in medical treatment this flu season.

“Urgent care centers are uniquely positioned to help individuals and families during this upcoming flu season, as they offer an affordable, convenient healthcare option to treat non-life- or limb-threatening illnesses,” said President of the Urgent Care Association of America, Pamela Sullivan.

With options for intermediate level healthcare growing, perhaps America is ready for a change.
